Μάρων Ἥρωνι χαίρειν.
Ἄγαθον ὄντα πάνυ
μοι φίλον ὑπόδεξαι πάσῃ
προθυμίᾳ καὶ χόρτον αὐτῷ παράστησον καὶ τὴν
οἰνοθήκην ποίησον αὐτὸν
ἀνοῖξαι καὶ αὐτὸς σημειωσάσθω καὶ ἐν ἀγρῷ δὲ γενόμενος ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐκεῖ παραστησάτω ὁ καρπώνης καὶ ἐν οἷς σου
ἐὰν χρείαν ἔχῃ
ὑπηρέτησον αὐτῷ ἵνα
ἀνελθὼν μαρτυρήσῃ σοι.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.Translations (1)
Maron to Heron, greetings.
Receive Agathos, who is a very dear friend of mine, with all eagerness, and provide fodder for him, and have him open the wine-store, and let him seal it himself; and when he is in the field, let the fruit-buyer show him whatever is there; and in whatever he needs from you, serve him, so that when he comes back up he may bear witness for you.
I pray for your health.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
